Thanks for your input yoga1103,I have followed the given URL and able to run the project.But now I have another issue with the permalink i.e
When I select “Default” permalink option from WordPress admin then almost everything working fine but when I changed the permalink from “Default” to “Post name” I am getting “Page not found” error.Could you/anyone please help me on this?
To use the various permalink options you must have the apache2 server running in your localhost config set to enable “mod_rewrite”, otherwise your “.htaccess” is not activated and your link names don’t get mapped.
Thank you Mitchell, now I am able to view pages using”Post name”permalink as well, but again got a different problem this time
I am able to see the pages which have the url like this “localhost/wordpress/index.php” but I am not able to see some of the pages with the url”localhost/index1.php”. I know the second url pointing to different location but when I checked in the permalink the index1 permalink is also proper like “localhost/wordpress/index1.php”.What makes them to invoke from different location eventhough the permalink is pointing to the root directory?
The distinction between:
"localhost/wordpress/index.php" and "localhost/index1.php"
most likely depends upon when the link was created, was it done on the old site or the new one ?
There are various ways to fix these:
– re-export from the old site using the plugin DUPLICATOR
– use a plugin like “broken link checker” to find all of the links which are wrong.
It would depend upon how many of the old links there are.
Thanks for the suggestion Mitchell, the link was created in the new site.
I will try your suggestions and meanwhile to explain my problem more clearly
I have one menu like “Category” under that menu I have “Category1″,”Category2” as menu items.When I click on “Category1” from the menu I got URL not found(Which is pointing to different root directory) but when I check the permalink of the “Category1” from admin console the url is proper one(which is pointing to proper root directory) and working fine.Please help me on what’s going wrong when I click on “Category1”.
What happens when you delete one of these not working menu items, and then create a new one of the same name. Does it work now ?
Thank you very much for your help Mitchel.It’s working now.The issue is “custom link” option is set to wrong location for the not working pages. I changed it to a proper location and its working fine now.
And need one more help, most of the subItems are set to”Page” and very few subItems are set to “custom link”. I want to change those few subItems which are set to “custom link” to “page”, how could I change those? Please help me on this.

This is informative.
– A custom link can be an address of anything anywhere on the net.
– On the other hand “Pages” type links are to actual WordPress PAGES, similarly POSTS get linked under their CATEGORIES.
First establish that the content that you want to link to is a PAGE or POST, create a new menu entry for it under this type, once it is working delete the old CUSTOM LINK menu entry.
Thank you for the help Mitchel, I have another requirement for my project
My requirement is, I want to change the footer style.I added content in “footer.php” but the alignment of the content was not proper and it is very difficult for me to change css style from php files.As I am a beginner for WordPress and I am not expert in css/html changes for the pages, is there any plugin for making css changes from the admin console in WordPress.
I searched the plugins for “custom css” and found many results, pne of these should work for you.
You also need to install and use a “browser inspector” to help you with creating your css.
Thanks for your support from the beginning, As of now everything working fine in local.So I made my system as a host with static IP address and changed the “Site Address (URL) “and “WordPress Address (URL)” from”localhost/wordpress” to “IPaddress/wordpress” and tried to access the website from external browsers(within office intranet).I am able to see themes but could not able to see some of the images in the external browsers.It would be helpful if you provide inputs on this.
I found the issue, it’s because of URL mismatch and velvet plugin helped here..
